Can you say trillions? A trillion is one thousand billions. A billion is one thousand millions.
The true national debt at the time of this writing is fifty-five trillions; that's 55,000 billions or 55 million millions. That means America will pay China, the Oil States, and others not so friendly to the US $3.5 trillion in interest alone–not counting what we pay to buy their products and oil!
American's misuse of credit looms as the single largest threat to our economy and therefore to our security, for it is our economy and the freedoms upon which it is founded that draws the world to us.
Shock yourself. Visit http://www.usdebtclock.org/
While it is the nation's economy that keeps America secure, it is our industry as individuals that keeps America's economy strong. Over the past forty years Washington and Wall Street have used Madison Avenue advertising to mislead Americans into unmanageable debt. Take away the incentive to work by overpowering an individual with debt – particularly unsecured credit card debt – and you have the likelihood that such a person will give up and give in.
It's time for every individual American family to address the Debt Paradigm.
Here are a few statistics from early 2011…
Average credit card debt per household with credit card debt: $14,750*
609.8 million credit cards held by U.S. consumers. (Source: "The Survey of Consumer Payment Choice," Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, January 2010)
Average number of credit cards held by cardholders: 3.5, as of yearend 2008 (Source: "The Survey of Consumer Payment Choice," Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, January 2010)
Average APR on new credit card offer: 14.73 percent (Source: CreditCards.com Weekly Rate Report, Feb. 9, 2011.)
Average APR on credit card with a balance on it: 13.67 percent, as of November 2010 (Source: Federal Reserve's G.19 report on consumer credit, November 2010)
Total U.S. revolving debt (98 percent of which is made up of credit card debt): $796.5 billion, as of November 2010 (Source: Federal Reserve's G.19 report on consumer credit, March 2010)
Total U.S. consumer debt: $2.40 trillion, as of June 2010 (Source: Federal Reserve's G.19 report on consumer credit, November 2010)
U.S. credit card 60-day delinquency rate: 3.23 percent. (Source: Fitch Ratings, January 2011)

American families must rein in the use of credit or embrace the reality that other nations–some not so friendly to us–will soon be in a position to deny us the American Dream and dictate how we live our lives. It's not enough to blame the Congress and the President–although they certainly deserve it.
Every American needs to discard the conventional wisdom of the failed Debt Paradigm and re-awaken to the economic principles and financial practices that the Founders and Builders of America paid forward to us in the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and works like Benjamin Franklin's The Way to Wealth.
Until common sense about financial management returns to the psyche and the front-of-mind of everyday Americans, we will continue to send Debt Paradigm Dupes to DC; stimulus laws that only stimulate bigger unions and bigger government; budget cuts that are cosmetic at best; bridges to nowhere built with money America doesn't have–all, at our own peril.
Health, Abundance, Love and Light
Books and articles abound about the Greatest Generation (1910 – 1924), the Baby Boomers (1946 – 1964), Gen-X and Gen-Y.
It's our own fault. We failed to defend and pass on the values that our parents inherited from as far back as the founding of America. We were so busy rebuilding an economy that was decimated by the Great Depression and put into a wartime state by WWII that we lost sight of the turmoil that the entitlement thinking and the quick-buck-investment mentality that followed us was wreaking on America's economic stability.
Our inattention has allowed America to flounder its way to a measure of success unseen in the history of the world. This success is, however, also the foundation of our failure. Our economic house is built on sand. Baby Boomers and their progeny deny or are unaware of the Four Pillars of every financially successful and secure family and person
It's time for the Forgotten Generation to step forward and reclaim its destiny as the protectors of the American values that were passed on to it but which will pass out of existence if the Forgotten Generation does not act to restore them and pass on the legacy of wisdom that it received from its forebears. It's also time for the Boomers and Beyonds to discard the falsehoods and foolishness that can lead us to America's ruin. Its time for them to put renewed faith in the financial founding fathers who wrote, spoke and lived the Four Pillars.
Paying bills is often like that. Many things seem more important – the kids are crying, the spouse is demanding, the boss is insisting, the grass needs mowing or the snow shoveled, and on and on…Chores, people, TV shows, and even bodily functions are shouting "Pay attention to me!" all the time. These demands are sometimes more urgent than they are important.
Paying your bills is important but becomes urgent, like the above, when it is put off to the last minute.
'Tis the season…when we tend to run up the charge cards and other bills that we won't see until January. That's something else to be thankful for…so save this blog till then…it may come in handy.
Have a merry, merry and a happy, happy.

"…the U.S. Treasury will float tens of billions of new debt in December alone (most of which will be sopped up by foreigners, who have increased their holdings of Treasuries by well over $200 billion in the past year)…"
By John P. Hussman, Ph.D.
Ever wonder why all those foreign investors are buying US Dollars? America is still the strongest economy in the world. Your personal economy is not the same, however. The investments you buy – including the ones in your retirement plans – are not money. Investments chase returns. Investors secure dollars. Change your mind about money and you'll change your life.

KUB Closes Lanes of Middlebrook Pike
June 12, 2013
- Beginning on June 15 and lasting through July 26, 2013 (weather permitting), KUB will replace the natural gas main and related equipment along a section of Middlebrook Pike between Webster Avenue and Proctor Street (beneath the I-40 overpass).
As part of this work, traffic along this section of Middlebrook Pike will be reduced to one eastbound and one westbound lane for the duration of construction activity.
Additionally, Partners Place will be closed to through traffic.
Appropriate signage and traffic control devices will be in place on both the east and west ends to alert traffic to the lane reductions.
Some listed closures may extend beyond the scheduled times depending on the conditions encountered during excavation and construction. Appropriate traffic control measures will be in place at this location to assist motorists traveling in the area. Due to the ongoing presence of workers and equipment, motorists are advised to use extreme caution and expect temporary delays in this area.

The IOSCO process and the impact on clarity of price discovery
Following concerns that certain price discovery methodologies may not reflect market realities, the G20 requested IOSCO to study the situation and to make recommendations to improve performance. A key output of that study was IOSCO's Principles for Price Reporting Agencies, published in October 2012.
IOSCO subsequently conducted a stakeholder consultation to gather feedback on the extent of implementation and effectiveness of the principles. IOSCO will be submitting its final report to the G20 at its Brisbane meeting in November 2014, incorporating the feedback received. This session will discuss the key elements of IOSCO's final report and seek a better understanding from the leading jet fuel PRAs regarding the changes they have implemented since the launch of the IOSCO process in 2012.

Software Development Management Introduced Latest Technology
Electromagnetic interference
Software Development Management introduces a solution regarding Electromagnetic interference. As the number of electronic components in electronic circuits continue to shrink' many problems of compatibility occur like unwanted noise effects due to susceptibility and electromagnetic interference. Institute of high computing explains that it is a perilous problem for electronics industry. To tackle this problem' electronics industry has developed a set of computer modelling tools' but these are problematic and need lots of computing power. Now' Gao and his colleagues developed a model that is competent to solve such problems ten times faster than existing models.
A more efficient and targeted approach is crucial to measure the effects of interference. Researchers use different mathematical equations to illustrate electrical current in a conducting wire. The physics of this transmission-line equations are well comprehend and once adapted to unique properties of circuit board are far simpler to solve by an algorithm of computer than others coarser modelling.
First tests of (A*STAR) software package developed by researchers that is based on transmission line equations consistently solved a good number of problems for electronic circuit. As compared to the commercial model' this new software achieved a very good agreement' particularly in the main area of interest (frequencies lower than one gigahertz).
However' Speed is the main advantage of using software. Whereas industrial software demand more than two hours of computing on regular laptops' this software required less than ten minutes for same task. Software Development Management illustrates that this computational problem solving program can shorten the electromagnetic interference trouble shooting in product designing phase and therefore translates into cost and time savings for the industries.

I have that picture of channing without the negative image fliter, but i dont use alternate sites to link pic with, so...
i guess Ill enjoy it all by my lonesome
No Andreus you don't have an unfiltered image. That wasn't released without the filter, so brag about fake pictures somewhere else
IM FREAKING OUT! I can't wait until Step Up!
I hope its a good movie...but with Chan in it, how could it be bad?
Oh so bitchy people can become over Tatum!!! And yes filters can be removed. I have a friend that can do it.
(By the way love the Wicked Witch line! )
i cant wait till the movie step-up comes out. get to see him move around. maybe their will be some really hot scenes with him in it!!!!
Mmmmmm... deliciously beautiful! I usually hate beautiful men, but in his case... dear GAWD I'll make the exception!
This is not a negative filtered picture. Whoever says they have this photo in it's unaltered state is lying because this picture was processed through Solarization...one of the many alternative photography processes.
If you knew anything about alternative photography you would know that this wasn't just shot and photoshopped with a "negative filter." Sorry this photo is definately solarized.
I have learned this process myself. And not even a photoshop expert can pull a miracle and remove that...because...there isn't anything to remove...it's what the photo is.
P.S. - I am a photography major. and I also know this photo is solarized because I am familiar with this photographer's work. His images show up in text books ALL the time. He is known for his wonderful/flawless solarization works.
Please don't try to place yourself above others by claiming to have an unfiltered version of the photo because that is a load of bullocks.
Unless you can prove to us by showing us the stripped version...you better get your hammer and railroad spikes ready =D.
If someone can make a Black and White Movie Color. I think they can remove that. Eveything can be undone somehow!
and i don't have the unwhatever version. I'm just saying i think someone out there can unwhatever it!
I love that man. He is my absolute favorite.
Hot, and always horny. Feel free to ask me anything
AAHHHH! He was dancing in the rain....who could ask for more...
I'm freaking jealous of that girl. She probably doesn't know how good she has it.
I'd give anything to dance in the rain with him.
Yield, yield, yield!
Come on and hit me with your love
Eventhough the colors are inverted it still isn't the raw photograph that the photographer took.
This print is solarized people.
Combatindie - i'm glad you know what I"m talking about =D What is your favorite process? Mine is Van Dyke Cyano =) it's So AWESOME! hahahaha
why is that the only naked one of him, is anyone positve that it actually is him, its kind of hard to tell because of the image and his face is kind of blocked. just seems to me that if he did photos like that he would have done more where its in color
the photographer who did this piece is known to do solarized photography.
So yeah..I think it's a beautiful piece and yes it is him.
who is the photographer that did i?
and how do u know for sure it is him?
its not that i think it couldnt be him its just the lighting only shows a few select ffeatures on his face that could belong to someone that looks similar, and ive only seen one solarized picture of him, so why didnt the phtographer do more if its his thing
if it is so doable, and u did it, why dont u just post the pics to shut them both up.
Fighting about film development & manipulation??? Hey, finally there's a Channing thread with something new in it! lol.....
I thought I read somewhere that that pic was fake.
Photojournalism and artistic photography are very different things.
What I'm talking about you've probably never had experience in.
Plus for somebody who's already gone through college your maturity displayed in this thread is extremely embarrasing to yourself.
You need to get over the "it's mine and i'm not sharing" mentality. It's so 5 years old.
I love that pic because it's a negative.
My marriage can't be used to kill a whole high school full of kids. Register your freaking guns. - Jasun
Since this was posted in the other thread, I figured I'd bring it here to further appreciate. God, he's amazing.
Yield, yield, yield!
Come on and hit me with your love
i was thinking it was solarized, but i thought it might have done with a computer, because it's so perfectly solarized. anyone who's solarized before knows it's incredibly hard to get something to look like that. anywhoo--awesome picture, awesome subject.
yes its solarized
the filter processes of the more advanced programs are actually just a collection of adjustments such as contrast, brightness, pixelation, color replacement...etc done in a certain order to produce a certain predictable effect.
to undo a filter, ANY FILTER, you just need to step backwards in reverse order of the filter's process. to do that, you have to understand some rather advanced elements of photography that very few seem to understand.
understanding the basics of a program is kids stuff, every internet junkie has played with them. Knowing the lingo is not enough
You need to understand the mechanics of an image and the programming that created it.
solarizing grabs a set of tones, usually in the cyan range and changes their neutrality base. after that it transforms the image by desaturating it entirely. this provides the hard edges on the shadow base. after that it negates the image. then it provides a base tone for the image, a process similar to digitally converting a black and white image into a sepia image. digitally this isnt really sepia photography, its just changing the tonal ballance of the black in the color ballance of the image.
i just cant think of any way to respond to such an eloquent accusation as that I dont act as old and mature as i should be as a grad student...lol
hows this
Im soooo sure, like gosh
do yu really think im immature????
nooooo wayyyyyyy
Channing is okay, his cock is nice mesupposes, but hes more my mates kinda guy. im a Justin Chatwin fan meself.
I am not talking about digital solarization. I think digital photography is BS. Eventhough it's taking over the industry. There is nothing like getting your hands wet in the chemistry and tanic acids. It's not as fun pushing a couple buttons not to mention it takes much less skill and personal involvement. Digital photography = yawn.
This photographer didn't use digital solarization. He did the full process with the tanic acids, palladium emulsions and lithographic negatives. It's a long process.
I suggest you read The book of alternative photographic processes by Christopher James.
It really is a SWELL read.
P.S. - You are getting in way over your head. Just stop before you're in too deep. A little advice from a fellow gay boy.
you have no idea how wrong you are
but i have a feeling you are going to find out
OMG Channing Tatum's movie "step up" is coming out tomorrow! i'll be watching it immediatley! i think he is the hottest thing on 2 legs! he is absolutely gorgeous! im wondering wut kind of underwear he wears....... plz help me find out! i find underwear being very sexy.
He is the hottest ever. Can't you tell by my name?
lol.. i'd love it a little better without the hat, but it's still nice..
Just because he poses with briefs doesn't mean he always wears briefs, cuz most of the time there requested because there trying to sell something. But anyways, i watched Step up and when he was wearing sweat pants and he was sleeping on the bed. You can clearly see the brief outline. So yes, i believe he wears briefs. But in Shes' the man, he wore boxers, so i think it's a bit of both.
I'm with you filipbong1!!
his body looks good in the pic, but that face hes making ruins the whole thing for me
I don't find him attractive at all. I don't get what the big deal is. All his pictures are so airbrushed.
well what do u expect he was a model, mostly all models pics are airbrushed
You guys are just jealous that's he's hot and your not! HAHAHA! lol! He god a great body....ur probably just jealous.
are u 5 de dragon or do u just type like one and act like one
I'm not denying that he has a nice body. He has a nice body but his face isn't so great.

Nexus 10 is Miracast away from really taking the glory from iPads
I got my Nexus 10 christmas day, and I love it. I also got a Sony home stereo reciever with AirPlay functionality. Let me say that using my iTouch 4 and streaming music to my home stereo with AirPlay is fantastic, flawless, and seamless. I am not an Apple fan at all, but damn they have something with this AirPlay thing.
I downloaded some apps for my Nexus 10 and GS3 that allow me to also stream music using AirPlay on my reciever, however as expected the interface is pretty clunky and I have to press alot more buttons to make it all work.
Point of my rambling is that when or if this whole Miracast thing comes to our devices and if its as well integrated as AirPlay, well then everyone is in for a real treat. It is the future of home network media sharing and control. -
Re: Nexus 10 is Miracast away from really taking the glory from iPads
As far as streaming music goes I've been using this fro a couple of years now Amazon.com: Belkin F8Z492TTP Bluetooth Music Receiver: MP3 Players & Accessories
Plugs into my a/v reciever, Bluetooth connect to my phone/tablet. True Istill ahve to select the input, but that is kind fo the idea behind a receiver.I think your skills are improving.

Re: Nexus 10 is Miracast away from really taking the glory from iPads
I would like to see one device for all your streaming needs. more miracast settings in Android. all we have now is ON/OFF switch for miracast.
should let you stream Music/video/Photos/screen with option to display on phone or the receiving device.
option to stream embedded videos like youtube/netflix or musics like Pandora/Radio's and similar apps to stream even with apps minimized - 12-28-2012, 12:31 PM #5
Re: Nexus 10 is Miracast away from really taking the glory from iPads
Check out this app for android. I got my nexus to work with airplay to the apple tv. Not sure if it would work with an airplay ready receiver....

16.01.07 - By JEFF WALD, Movie and TV Producer Extraordinaire - from www.BoxingConfidential.com: I first met Ali in late 1968 early 1969 when I was representing songwriter Oscar Brown Jr., made a musical out of a play called BIG TIME BUCK WHITE. We were fans of Ali and they had stripped him of his right to fight. We put him in this play that opened I believe at the Winter Garden theater. The play opened and closed in six days. The other producer insisted on Ali wearing this ridiculous wig. I was proud of the fact that we were able to put some money in his pocket as well as give him some different visibility and a forum for his wonderful views on the Viet Nam war. I next saw him at both the Rumble in the Jungle and the Thrilla in Manila. I have the original program signed by Ali and George Foreman. I went with Stallone to the second Spinks fight at the Superdome and spent a few minutes in his dressing room. I saw many of his fights and never ceased to be awed.. I was at the Oscars with George Foreman when 'They Were Kings" won for best documentary. I got out of my seat and grabbed George who helped Ali up and we went on stage at the Oscars. It was an incredible moment. We went back to the press room and they asked George what he thought when he saw the movie. I will never forget his answer. He said "I keep hoping the ending will change." It was a great moment to be with these two incredible warriors who both have contributed so much to America and the world. JEFF WALD, ''THE CONTENDER"

Today, North Carolina moves closer to shutting the door on one of the state's more shameful episodes. June 30 is the deadline for victims of the state's long-running eugenics program to file for compensation from a fund N.C. lawmakers approved in 2013.
As of last week, 630 sterilization victims or their families had filed claims for compensation from the $10 million fund, according to the Office for Justice of Sterilization Victims. The office has forwarded at least 320 of those claims to the Industrial Commission to determine eligibility; the remaining claims have been logged in as valid pending further information from the victims or additional research by the office.
Sadly, North Carolina ran one of the most aggressive involuntary sterilization programs in the nation, lasting from 1929 through 1974. More than 7,600 men, woman and children who had been declared mentally or physically unfit to reproduce, often on flimsy or faulty evidence, were left barren. Toward its end, most of those targeted were black girls and women of modest means.
As shameful, state officials balked and dragged their feet for years trying to avoid making amends for this grievous wrong. As they did, many of the victims died.
When lawmakers finally agreed to compensation and a system to provide it, the program allowed only victims who were alive on June 30, 2013 or their families to collect. Advocates rightly point out that the cut-off unfairly leaves out people who had already been verified by the state as victims of the eugenics program but who had died before that date as lawmakers dawdled over how to do the compensation.
By January 2012, a governor's task force had already recommended that each victim be awarded $50,000. The $10 million fund would compensate only 200 claims if each got $50,000. The fund is set up for each claimant, no matter the number, to get a share. The Industrial Commission, whose job it is to sort through the claims and award compensation, must ensure that all legitimate claims are honored and not throw out claims if the number of claimants exceeds expectations.
Mecklenburg County could have the lion's share of claims. This county recorded more than 400 sterilizations – more than any other county in the state by a large margin.
The callousness of the eugenics program is astonishing to read about. Juxtaposed against the heart-wrenching stories that living victims told a state compensation task force in 2012 they are even more so. Tearful victims included women who were as young as 13 when the procedure was done. Some victims were described as being mentally deficient but others were just said to be of bad moral character or exhibiting "provocative behavior." State officials would carry out the procedure sometimes on the basis of a single comment or complaint about the victim.
North Carolina became the first state in the country to approve compensation for sterilization victims in 2013. Lawmakers deserve credit for doing so. Now, they need to make sure that all who are entitled to compensation get to file for it – and finally get it.

Vision of Love Pocket Invitations After ordering countless samples from tons of sites, and specifically this sample in literally 20 colors.. We decided on the black with light pink and grey accents. It was very elegant looking! I was a little disappointed as a few came a bit worn due to shipping, but other than those few of the hundred they looked really good!
Excellent quality.

In the latest installment of Eating My Words, bluestocking columnist Rebecca Peters-Golden takes on the latest beloved-slash-controversial book series-slash-movie blockbuster: The Hunger Games. Plan your viewing parties now.
I always delight in reading novels that totally love their food—feasting, snacking, cooking, smelling; I love it all. There is, however, something almost shiveringly good about a delicious description of food in a book where food is scarce. This is the case in Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games (hi, the title kind of says it all).
When kickass Katniss Everdeen isn't trying to find enough food to survive or interacting with Greasy Sae, the old woman in District 12 who famously says, "Once it's in the soup, I'll call it beef," she's, you know, killing other teenagers to provide a vicious propaganda of bread and circus for the overprivileged and overfed citizens of the Capitol. In short, for Katniss, food has always been a necessity and very rarely a pleasure.
It's for this reason, I think, that Katniss' fondness for lamb stew stands out. On the train that will take her to the Capitol, Katniss views each meal as a chance to build up her strength, to perhaps help her stay alive a little longer in the Game. Although she tastes many of the Capitol's delicacies, it is a homely stew that she likes the best, "made with tender chunks of lamb and dried plums" and served on a bed of wild rice. Although she shovels it into her mouth without thinking on the train, when she is interviewed in the Capitol, it's very much on her mind:
"So, Katniss, the Capitol must be quite a change from District Twelve. What's impressed you most since you arrived here?" asks Caesar. . . .
I rack my brain for something that made me happy here. Be honest, I think. Be honest.
"The lamb stew," I get out.
Caesar laughs, and vaguely I realize some of the audience has joined in.
"The one with the dried plums?" asks Caesar. I nod. "Oh, I eat it by the bucketful."
And, never has hunger so been nature's salt than in a scene during the Games, when (*spoiler*) Katniss and Peeta are rewarded for their first kiss with the only real meal they've had since the Games begun. "There's a feast—fresh rolls, goat cheese, apples, and best of all, a tureen of that incredible lamb stew on wild rice." As a reader, it's like you've been hungry for delicious food descriptions as Katniss has been deprived of food, and this stew definitely hits the spot . . . even if you aren't fighting for your life at the hands of a corrupt government.
So, even though the Hunger Games movie will likely disappoint, at least you can follow the casting call from your couch, and sop up a bowl of this delicious stew as you watch the blogosphere rage.
Katniss' Capitol Lamb Stew with Dried Plums
Total time: 2 hours
Makes 6-8 servings
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 beef bouillon cubes (although any bouillon will do) or homemade stock, if it's concentrated
- 2 pounds lamb, cut into 2-inch chunks (called stew meat at the butcher)
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 1 head garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 1/2 cups dry red wine
- salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 cup dried plums (prunes), about 30, if you're buying in bulk—whole or halved
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- some delicious carbohydrate to pour it on or sop it up (crusty white bread,wild rice, etc.)
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Make the concentrated broth by adding the bouillon cubes to 2 cups water and microwaving for about 2 minutes.
Brown the lamb in the oil on both sides (about 3 minutes per side). You'll likely need to cook the lamb in two batches, so it has room to brown. Remember, the meat will cook in the stew, so it needn't cook through here. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the lamb from the pot and put aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add more oil if necessary. Add the onions and cook until soft, stirring so they don't stick; they'll take on the brown color from the meat, but shouldn't caramelize (about 8 minutes). When the onions are soft, add the garlic and cook for a minute, but don't let the garlic burn. Add the lamb and any juices that have run out back into the pot and stir.
Add wine and broth/stock to the pot and lower the heat to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add cumin. While the stew is cooking, if you find it getting too thick, add up to another 1/2 cup of water or wine. Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add dried plums and thyme, and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring regularly. Serve over rice or with bread.

A Writer's FollyForsaid forsooth, "Forsay it not so!"My tail of a whale of a tale of a woe"Has fallen to the failure of fallacy's foe!"But what it has wrought I right shall not know."
Spilt BloodThough outside our bones we may feel the cold, inside we are all warm with love, courage, strength, and togetherness shed by those we care about who all surround us in this season. Hearts are light and hands are heavy with gifts exchanged from one soul to another. Our tongues alight upon our teeth like dancers with kind words while the tongues of flames in the corner keep us comfortable with a soothing crackle and a light, shifting like emotion and time. No matter how dark our days before, or how clouded the sky may become, today we are filled with a new light and stars land in our eyes. No matter how long the fall, there are always dreams of all sorts coming true around these times as wings sprout. Ice and snow falls, but we shall not neglect the fact that each drop of frozen water is not only special but a symbol of us all. Water is a pure mixture of everything, contains every ounce of everything we've ever known, and goes wherever it likes.

Just tried using frozen strawberries. "This was the best one yet!" said my sous-chef/husband. We topped with whipped cream instead of powdered sugar. Fantastic!
We tried using persimmon this morning. They ended up tasting like carrots! :P I don't recommend using persimmon.
We really loved this! I used a non-stick 10" fry pan, which worked great until we went to eat it. A wooden spatula probably would have been an easy solution, but we wanted to eat it directly out of the pan. It was soooo puffy! The pancake rose at least 2 inches out of the pan. I tried to skip using the blender, but my whisk just didn't do anything. I ended up using a hand blender, and I'm glad I did because I think that's why it rose so well. I think all the bubbles I beat in made the puff (like a souffle). The flavors are subtle, but great. Nice change from the usual cinnamon/nutmeg apple dishes. I used Madagascar vanilla, which added a great flavor. I considered serving with maple syrup or caramel, but it really didn't need it. Very filling for two! Will try with other fruits next time.
I made this for my family for breakfast this morning, and everyone liked it. I added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the apples when they were softening, but I'd recommend adding a bit more. This dish should also be good with other fruits and vegetables if apples aren't your thing. I'd suggest saving it for a day when a group of people will be eating with you, it's fairly large and easy.

This is a super small painting.. I think it was about 3x3".. I soldered this painting inside a frame to present it as a christmas gift to my friend in 2012. I'm looking through my files and am happy to know that the style of painting that I liked back then, still holds true today.. it signals to me that I have defined my true style as an artist.
These days I have been working at my daughter's school, and slowly absorbing some books and magazines.. taking things easy as we finalize material for new mixed media online workshops. A few years ago, I would have been in a panic if I were not feverishly painting every day..but now I have accepted the ebb and flow of my creativity.
Cloudy skies and cool temperatures find me more contemplative than usual. I'm doing my best to stay on track.
Get your paint out! Jumpstart your creativity with a fast online workshop, "Mixed Media Vacation" on sale now through Wednesday! No time limits...perfect for beginners too... use code 2015Vacation at check out to save. I hope to see you there! Click here for more info.
Wishing you happiness and peace in 2015...
Never shying away from anything shiny, in 2014, I used a lot of gold leaf.. in paintings, in craft projects, in paper crafting.. it was all over the place. There was loads of metallic paint as well... and making the metallics look aged was one of my favorite things to do. How about you?
"My Checkered Past" is a painting that I completed for my upcoming solo show..name TBD, but I have some ideas percolating. I think the main challenge I faced while making the show was to make sure that I had a collection in which the pieces were unique, but that they "went" together. It was really difficult especially around the 10th painting mark.. (The collection stands at 16...but I may only show 15.)
I love yellow... I hate to paint with it and I find that it is the color I struggle with the most..but...the yellow paintings garner the most attention when people see them hanging..so I guess the hard work pays off.
Most of my large paintings are completed using techniques in the Layer Love v2.0 mixed media online workshop... if you want to get going with some killer abstract art, take a look here and join Chris Cozen and I!
Highlighting some of my favorite paintings of 2014, this is "Reef Break", encaustic on wood, 16x16". Encaustic was fun, especially outside in the sweltering southern California heat.. maybe not the best plan, but something I would heat up again for sure. There was a steep learning curve working with wax, with frustration because I could not get it to behave exactly like my paint..
Cleaning the shop and making room for new classes in 2015! Click here for more info.
Every year I have the urge to make my Christmas gifts... sometimes things don't go as planned.. Most years I give up and decide on a second project last minute.. Yesterday (December 18!) I canned the whole "make" idea and went out to buy presents.. only to come back home, re-group, and re-design the "make" gifts last minute. Like really last minute... I had to pass these gifts out today.
So. Sew.
There is a problem with the internet these days.. there are tutorials all over and place.. but even though a lot of them look good, at close inspection, they're not. I should have known that the pattern I was admiring wouldn't work.. You're looking at someone who sews a lot of zippered pouches, (and pillows)... I've got the zipper down.. It's my most proud skill now.. so when I saw something in a tutorial that differed from my learned skills, that should have set off the alarm.. it didn't.. I was bamboozled by the number of hits on the post I was reading and the quality graphics.
After failed attempt at the pattern's instruction, I decided to make this one my own. I had already cut ALL of my fabric as the failed pattern specified.. I repositioned the stabilizer (the pattern called for the stabilizer to be sewn to the lining of the bag...not the outside... but I thought having a better shape was more important to the outside of the bag)... I trimmed the weird pattern pieces to a better shape and sewed all night. I think they look great..the recipients too, I am happy to report.
I had this moment when learning to paint..and I am happy (sort of..after the headache) to have this feeling while learning to sew now.. Knowing how to "fix" things is the best feeling ever..and you learn that feeling by making mistakes, and deviating from patterns that are presented to you. Sort of like a mechanic.. learning how things work. This is my 11th hour, cheerleading moment to you...if you're busily making gifts still... go with your gut... don't pull your hair out over a tutorial. You can do it.
BTW, I put little stocking stuffers in the bags... handmade soaps, note pads, pens, nail polish and various treats.. each monogrammed for the recipient. The interior of each bag is bright patterned fabric that coordinates with the zipper color. The Tru Embroidery software has become invaluable for this type of project.. I am happy I purchased it.
We're retiring two workshops in early 2015 to make room for some brand spanking new ones! Take advantage of our final sale on "Mixed Media Melange" and "Pixels and Paint" at $59.50/ea before they're gone.
Still no time limits on class, no expiration date... we won't be accepting new members to either course soon. We hope to see you! Click here for more info.
This is the second group of 4x6 panels I made for the craft bazaar last week... I will list the panels that are still available soon.. but the weather is cool and my sewing machine has been calling my name. Seems I work better under pressure... now would probably be a good time to start sewing the Christmas gifts on my list... haha
If you're interested in picking up any of these panels for a gift, they are ORIGINALS and they will cost $45 plus a little for shipping... they are on cradled wood panels, with 1.5" profiles.. here is a little photo I took of them to show you the depth:
If you need a quick art gift for someone, use the contact button on the top of my site to claim one.. I'll get around to officially listing them later. See you soon!
edit: They are all up listed now! Click here to see the collection.
HI there! Please note that the address to our workshop page has changed. You can now find all of the online mixed media workshops that we offer located here. You'll notice any old links you may have will no longer be valid...but rest assured, the workshops are still here.
Exciting news! Now when you purchase a workshop, all of the written content and login information is automatically emailed to you....like within seconds! No more wait times...come and paint with us anytime. We'd love to see you.
I participated in my first craft/art sale yesterday and had a lot of fun! It was really rewarding to see all of my inventory on the table...and to be able to tell the customers that I made everything. I enjoyed talking to everyone about my workshops and the art on the table..as well as the sales! Truth be told I have not even shopped at many of these sales at all either...so this was really neat.
I whipped up my table banner... "Fine Art Gifts" too... just wanted to show you. :)
I'm going to list the leftover panels here soon... probably in groups of 4. They were so well received...seems like everyone wants to add a collage of art/photos to their home, and these turned out to be the perfect size.
Other than that, I'm almost done converting all of the workshops to "digital"..which means the ordering process will be totally automated. If you buy a workshop in the middle of the night, you can start in the middle of the night...I'll leave the studio lights on for you.
See you soon!
Dear Students,
As part of our awesome online classes, we have always offered beautiful full-color pdf (aka handouts) that are meant to be used in conjunction with the video lessons. Currently, those handouts are located inside each of your class blogs, most of the time, as chapters inside each lesson. Our intention has always been that students print the handout (or download it) and then use it to take notes as you watch the videos for that lesson. Some classes even come with links to supply lists as well as things like free ephemera and single-page tid-bits that all fit into the larger PDF file.
Effective January 1, 2015, we will no longer host that information for you.
No one panic, please.
You are not loosing access to your classes. You are not loosing instructor support... we are simply changing the way in which we provide that "written" or linked-to content that is not video content. We need you to please take your content and download it now.
Effective December 10th, all classes that are sold will feature AUTOMATIC access and AUTOMATIC digital downloads will be made available to you. This is for NEW class members only. There will no longer be waiting until I wake up and process orders so that you can get into class. Isn't that awesome? We're making all of the necessary system upgrades at no additional cost to you so that you can enjoy class the moment you want to.
These changes require me to cancel an old website that I have been using to host the files for all of the classes... ergo, why you need to download what you are entitled to NOW.
Please do not email me asking where to find your handouts...simply log into your class and take 2 minutes to scroll through and download them. It's that simple.
There have been a lot of technological advancements since we started filming and hosting classes 5+ years ago. I've wanted to make these changes for a long time and have now taken the plunge to do so. We're having great success with the new shopping cart and coupon codes too, which is a part of this upgrade. We hope you like the way that things are being presented.
Thank you again for all of your support! Chris Cozen and I are writing new digital content for bigger and better classes for 2015 as we speak! There are a lot of exciting new changes that are heading our way...and we're happy you're here.
Best regards,
Julie Prichard
Owner- The Land of Lost Luggage
PS- there sure are a lot of you... if any of your friends have signed up for workshops over the last several years, can you please take moment to mention this post to them? We would really appreciate it.
Originals, the book, charms, cards, all handmade! Credit cards accepted.
Here are the finished pieces I was working on last week.. I feel like they are my kids.. and I don't want to split them up.. I love looking at projects like this one and this one.. and remember this collection I did? Good times...
So what should I do? I have to percolate on this one.....

"These were just OK. They aren't as dense as a true muffin and came out a bit too chewy for my taste. The actual flavor of the muffin is rather bland, I wish I had put more choc chips in as that was the best part of these. I probably won't do these muffins again."

This might go down as one of the most memorable games I have covered. It literally came down to the last second and had a wild finish. Again, I'll update this tomorrow, but it's late and I'm on deadline. Bottom line, YSU wins and is now 4-0 on the season. Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article. Post a Comment | |

Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests, and mines, and stone quarries; and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors. Ralph Waldo Emerson Our ancestors are totally essential to our every waking moment, although most of us don't even have the faintest idea about their lives, their trials, their hardships or challenges. English is an outrageous tangle of those derivations and other multifarious linguistic influences, from Yiddish to Shoshone, which has grown up around a gnarly core of chewy, clangorous yawps derived from ancestors who painted themselves blue to frighten their enemies. To us, the ashes of our ancestors are sacred and their resting place is hallowed ground. My ancestors wandered lost in the wilderness for forty years because even in biblical times, men would not stop to ask for directions. |

hey all, so sorry i wasnt on lately, had a really big work order and i had to do it solo v.v so can some one bring me up to speed???
dark1angel had asked me to do this...... For those who want to post a new character for the new storyline I believe that is being posted.......pls post it in the same character thread pls and thank you. Have any question pm dark1angel not me.
umm, everyone has left town assasins are facing badits. Ranu vs. Koodi and there is an alternate story line in the making because of people not being on as much as they should be.
I think that's it, if not someone fill in what I left out. I have to go graduate.
... and join my rebellion against time.
I guess that was it for all, but i have not been on for simply three days because of simply a long hour of orientation over at the community college that were explaining about policies and behavior overall...yaddi yadda.
But back to here i already had begun with the alternative story and is between with the real story, so overral it will be between flashbacks that way it becomes blended in rather then being one part being the real story while coming back with the alternative, so it is much easier with the transparent one. it does much simple facts in order to face off with a less problem with all characters that are not online at the moment.
Magic intervenes when there is love in first sight.
Ok, dark that's kinda over my head. Or, I don't know what you're tryin to say...
To everyone:
I'm off for a week and just giving everyone a heads up. I'm going on vacation ahaha... if you can call it that. So yeah, sorry 'bout that.
... and join my rebellion against time.
okay i said dark and basilisk can run the story but the approval of the characters still go by me. did i forget to say that out loud?
"In your arms is where i will be, I love you till my forever ends."

PhoenixSara FB / Click Me IMVU/Atlantis RPG/Rules and FAQ/MY BLOG /
oh ya ppl... I will not be on this thread for about a week or so... sry just to let ppl know...
death and life are one and the same
I am sorry to hear that basilisk, but i needed more assitence. I am not really sure if i can manage the work on my own oh well. I hope this time more people should take more efficient time into posting up more stories, beacuse at this moment it is getting better after i had read about a few pages from them... Keep up the good work for all and remember do keep a steady pace by taking time into setting a good feeling to it.

Paul McCreath: I have always liked heavyweights and back in the fifties when I started to really follow them closely one of my favorite fighters was the Argentine slugger Alex Miteff. In those days we were lucky enough to get boxing on national TV twice every week, usually Wednesdays and Fridays. One of the regulars that every fan got to know well was Alex. He appeared many times over about a 5 year period.. Born in Santa Fe in Argentina, Miteff was an outstanding amateur. In 140 bouts he lost only 3 times with 11 draws and 126 wins. He turned pro in 1955 and after only one fight in his home country moved to New York where he became an immediate favorite at the old St.Nicholas Arena and Madison Square Garden. Standing 6 foot 1 inch and weighing in at a little over 200 pounds he was a big man for those times. Today he would probably be a cruiserweight. His style was quite aggressive and relied on a strong body attack. After only 8 pro bouts he was matched with the veteran trial horse Archie McBride at the St.Nick and came away with a 10 round decision .He followed that with a 10 round win over the German fringe contender Willi Besmanoff who entered the bout with 51 pro fights under his belt. Alex was on his way as a top prospect although he had only 10 fights, all wins at this point and he was still only 22 years of age. 4 fights later he faced contender Big Mike DeJohn in his hometown of Syracuse.Mike who had far more experience and a 34-3-1 record upset the Miteff applecart by scoring a first round KO. Fans who want their young favorites to jump in the deep end early should keep this in mind. It often happens when young guns are rushed before they are ready. It didn't take Alex long to get back on track.3 fights later he outpointed the highly ranked Cuban Nino Valdez in 10 at the Gardens then followed that with a 10 round draw against the rising young Canadian slugger George Chuvalo in Toronto. Alex would go on to face most of the best in the division over the next 4 years. He never won a title and he lost a few more than he won, especially towards the end of his career but he did achieve the astonishing distinction of fighting no less than 20 fighters who were rated at one time in The Ring's top 10. In the annual ratings of 1961 seven of the top 10 fighters all fought Alex Miteff at one time or another ! Wouldn't it be nice if the fighters of today were that brave? Among these top fighters that Alex defeated were Willi Besmanoff, John Holman, Harold Carter, Wayne Bethea and Alonzo Johnson twice. He also stopped former cruiserweight champion Monroe Ratliff in 4 rounds. He lost but went all 10 rounds with the likes of Zora Folley, Eddie Machen, Henry Cooper, Billy Hunter and George Chuvalo in a rematch. Alex was stopped by Muhammead Ali, Cleveland Williams, Bob Cleroux and Jerry Quarry in an illadvised comeback bout in 1967. His final record was an unimpressive 26-13-1 with 16 KOs but most of the defeats came late in his career when he was clearly past his best. He was stopped 8 times, mostly near the end and more often than not on cuts which bothered him a lot through many of his fights. He was not noted for his great defense but rather his willingness to mix it up with anybody. By the time he was 26 years of age he was pretty well finished as a top fighter probably because he was rushed too fast early on and had a lot of very tough fights. You have to wonder if a little more caution when he started might have brought a longer career and more successful results. Alex will never be considered an ATG but we could sure use a few more like him today. Although he was as tall as many heavies are now he never weighed more than 213 pounds for a fight and usually was under 205. Present day heavyweights please note ! If anyone has any information as to whether Alex is still around I would like to hear anything you know.

Get Baked! Making Portuguese sweetbread with Kona Historical Society
by: Catherine E. Tothposted: Mon Feb 03, 2014 at 10:07 AM
The large, lava-rock forno (Portuguese for "oven"), modeled after the ruins of an oven on an old Kona dairy farm, took several months to plan and construct. Modern-day stonemasons consulted with several families in the east Big Island town of Honoka'a who still maintained working stone ovens. The Kona Historical Society's oven is part of larger plans to eventually build a living history ranch on the site.
"There has been so much change in Kona. Our identity and sense of place and history were being lost," says historical society program director Ku'ulani Auld, a fifth-generation Kona resident. "This is part of our story. A way to talk about our multiethnic heritage. The Portuguese are a piece of that. And the oven is how we tell that story."
Visitors are invited to help bakers roll the sweetbread dough into spheres, which are placed in aluminum pans for baking. The finished loaves are later sold to the public.
It took some time for bakers to learn how to use their brand-new, Old World oven once it was completed—tweaking proper baking temperatures and processes to arrive at a perfect loaf of sweetbread. With a traditional Portuguese forno everything matters—oven temperature, ingredients, even humidity and weather conditions.
"It's an art, but it's also a science," Holland says.
As it turns out, the 6 a.m. lighting of the cavernous oven, filled with kiawe wood, is, the bakers tell me, the least authentic part of the sweetbread-baking experience.
"Here's this big stone oven and we light it with a big propane tank," says baker Nicole Freshley, laughing. "But it's the most efficient way to do it."
The kiawe wood inside the oven needs to burn down for a few hours. Bakers then rake out the hot coals to allow the heat inside the oven to equalize. Oven temperatures, which peak at 1,000°F, must drop to 400°F to allow sweetbread, with its high sugar content, to bake properly. The dough for the sweetbread—each weekly batch made with 48 sticks of forno-melted butter—is mixed and prepared for rolling throughout the morning in a certified kitchen owned by neighboring coffee grower Greenwell Farms. The near-final task of the process, however, is the part of the day bakers enjoy the most. At 10 a.m., visitors are invited to help roll the dough into small spheres, placing seven each into round aluminum pans for baking.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Master sitting on a throne - high, exalted! - and the train of his robes filled the Temple. | 1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. |
2 Angel-seraphs hovered above him, each with six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two their feet, and with two they flew." | 2 Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. |
3 And they called back and forth one to the other, Holy, Holy, Holy is God-of-the-Angel-Armies. His bright glory fills the whole earth. | 3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." |
4 The foundations trembled at the sound of the angel voices, and then the whole house filled with smoke. | 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. |
5 I said, "Doom! It's Doomsday! I'm as good as dead! Every word I've ever spoken is tainted - blasphemous even! And the people I live with talk the same way, using words that corrupt and desecrate. And here I've looked God in the face! The King! God-of-the-Angel-Armies!" | 5 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty." |
6 Then one of the angel-seraphs flew to me. He held a live coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. | 6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. |
7 He touched my mouth with the coal and said, "Look. This coal has touched your lips. Gone your guilt, your sins wiped out." | 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for." |
8 And then I heard the voice of the Master: "Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?" I spoke up, "I'll go. Send me!" | 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" |
9 He said, "Go and tell this people: "'Listen hard, but you aren't going to get it; look hard, but you won't catch on.' | 9 He said, "Go and tell this people: " 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.' |
10 Make these people blockheads, with fingers in their ears and blindfolds on their eyes, So they won't see a thing, won't hear a word, So they won't have a clue about what's going on and, yes, so they won't turn around and be made whole." | 10 Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed." |
11 Astonished, I said, "And Master, how long is this to go on?" He said, "Until the cities are emptied out, not a soul left in the cities - Houses empty of people, countryside empty of people. | 11 Then I said, "For how long, O Lord?" And he answered: "Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and ravaged, |
12 Until I, God, get rid of everyone, sending them off, the land totally empty. | 12 until the LORD has sent everyone far away and the land is utterly forsaken. |
13 And even if some should survive, say a tenth, the devastation will start up again. The country will look like pine and oak forest with every tree cut down - Every tree a stump, a huge field of stumps. But there's a holy seed in those stumps." | 13 And though a tenth remains in the land, it will again be laid waste. But as the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land." |
